How to play Omaha

  1. 1Like Texas Hold’em, but everyone gets four private cards. Five shared cards come out as the flop (three), the turn and the river, with betting before the flop and after each new card.
  2. 2Your hand must use exactly two of your four cards and exactly three from the board — no more, no fewer. Four hearts in your hand and one on the board is not a flush.
  3. 3On your turn, fold, check, call, bet or raise, or go all in. Blinds are posted by the two players after the dealer; heads-up, the dealer posts the small blind and acts first before the flop, then second after it.
  4. 4We play no-limit rather than the usual pot-limit: you may bet any amount up to all your chips.
  5. 5Play chips only — never real money. Everyone starts with 1000 chips; run out and you're out of the game.
  6. 6To keep games a sensible length, the stakes rise every 5 hands and the game ends after 50 hands (or as soon as one player has every chip). Most chips wins.
  7. 7If you're all in, you can only win as much from each opponent as you put in; the rest goes to side pots that the others play for.
  8. 8At a showdown everyone still in shows their hand. Equal hands split the pot.
  9. 9Hands rank, high to low: straight flush, four of a kind, full house, flush, straight, three of a kind, two pair, one pair, high card. Aces are high, but A-2-3-4-5 counts as the lowest straight.
